Lincoln has secured the Sky Bet League One championship following a 2-0 win against Doncaster. Having already guaranteed promotion to the Championship on April 6 with a 2-1 win over Reading, the team needed only to avoid defeat at the Eco-Power Stadium to claim the title. The Imps achieved this with a win, marking their 27th consecutive unbeaten game. The 2026/27 season will see Lincoln compete in the second tier of English football for the first time in 65 years.
The team's impressive season was capped off with goals from Ben House on either side of the break. The Imps started strong, with a missed penalty from Rob Street and a saved header by Sonny Bradley. However, they took the lead in the 43rd minute when Matty Pearson's miscued clearance found its way to House, who scored.
After the break, Lincoln dominated, with House scoring his second goal in the 72nd minute. Manager Michael Skubala praised the team's performance, stating that they had exceeded expectations and made dreams come true. The team's work ethic and resilience were key to their success, and they will celebrate their historic achievement on Saturday against Wycombe at home.
